Heads/ Tails (Odo x female Reader)

Background: Odo and reader had broken up early in the Dominion war because the Founders sabotaged their relationship. Now that Odo is human, him and reader repair ties. Lwaxana tries to play matchmaker, But do reader and Odo get back together after a night of romance?

Warning: slight smut (like a paragraph or so, under 18, do not read) mild angst, happy ending

A/n: I have been on an Odo kick lately, and I’m living for it! Goodbye writer’s block. Inspired by the song “Heads/ Tails” by Hotspur

Word count: ~1,200

This next song,” Vic Fontaine begins, “is ladies choice. Ladies, find a nice gent to dance with.”

I glance at Odo. “You want to? Just for the hell of it, I mean.”

Odo and I had been friends again for a while, but I wasn’t sure if he still had feelings for me the way I did for him. If nothing else it could be a dance among friends.

He shrugged, “why not?”

I take his hand as I lead him to the dance floor.

“You look lovely tonight,” Odo says. If I hadn’t known better, I would have thought I noticed a hint of shyness.

Heat rises to my cheeks as I blush. “Thanks, Lwaxana picked out the dress. You look nice, too.”

“Lwaxana said that I should wear this suit. I wasn’t sure at first though. I honestly wasn’t planning on coming here tonight,” he replies.

I smirk, as an idea dawns on me. “Neither was I. Ya wanna know something?”

“Hm?” Odo asks.

“If I didn’t know any better,” I begin. “I would have thought that Lwaxana set us up.”

Odo’s eyes widened slightly, “you think so?”

I shrug, “it’s possible.”

“And if she did?” he asks.

“What the hell, I’m just gonna enjoy it,” I smirk.

“I think I will, too.” Suddenly Odo dips me, and kisses me on the lips, before lifting me back up.

He blushes. “Sorry, I’ve always wanted to do that.”

“Don’t be,” I smile wide. I place one hand on his cheek, and the other on the back of his neck, and kiss him more passionately.

“Hey, kids, get a room,” Vic jokes at the end of the set.

Odo and I look at Vic, and then back at each other. “Sorry,” I giggle.

I take Odo’s hand and we run out of the Holosuite and head to my quarters.

*slight smut*

Odo unzips my dress, and admires me for a moment. “You are so beautiful.”

“And you are very handsome,” I say, placing a hand on his chest.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asks, leading me to the bed.

I nod, “I am if you are.”

“Yes, I’m sure,” Odo replies.

Odo is bigger than I remember, but I also have to remind myself that he is human now, so parts of him might be different. I gaze into his eyes as we make love, and feel so honored that not only was I his first as a changeling, but also as a human. We reach our peak at the same time, and kiss as we come down.

“I love you,” Odo says, breathless.

“I love you, too.” I smile up at him.

“Now, I know why you humans enjoy making love so much, I never felt such sensation as a changeling,” he says.

After we get cleaned up, he cuddles me until we fall asleep together. When I awake the next morning, he’s already gone. “Probably an early shift,” I think out loud.

I join Major Kira and Jadzia for lunch at Quark’s.

“So, where did you and Odo slip off to last night?” Kira asks.

“Nowhere important,” I blush and grin, stabbing around at my food.

Jadzia doesn’t even have to study me. “You did it, didn’t you?” She gasps.

I smirk.

“You did!” Kira states, surprised.

“So, how was it?” Jadzia asks.

I sigh. “Well, I’m not at liberty to disclose that information, but there’s a reason I didn’t want to eat here at Quark’s today.”

The three of us start giggling.

“What’s so funny ladies?” The sound of Quark’s voice freaks me out.

“Oh shit,” I mouth to the girls.

“Y/n, congrats to you and Odo,” Quark says smugly.

“Um, thanks. Have you seen him today?” I ask.

Quark shakes his head. “ No, I thought he was still in your quarters.”

“I gotta go, I’ll see you all later,” I reply. Where could Odo be? Was he ashamed about last night?

My anxiety rises, I didn’t see him in security this morning. I walk as fast as I can to his quarters, and ring the doorbell. After a few minutes of no response, I rush back to Security. To my relief, Odo is sitting at his desk. “I’ve been looking for you all day,” I state out of breath.

“Y/n, sit down, you look worn out,” Odo says.

I sit across from him. “I want to talk to you about last night.”

“So do I,” he replies. “I-I can’t stop thinking about it, it was wonderful, but I’m conflicted.”

I straighten up. “About what?”

He sighs. “I don’t understand how you can love me, after all that’s happened. I mean, I would give my last breath to be with you again, but would we work this time?”

I knit my eyebrows. “Odo, you and I both know that the reason we broke up was the founders. I have no reason to be mad at you. Look, I can’t promise you tomorrow, I can’t promise a perfect life, but I promise that as long as there is a heart in my chest, I will love you with every beat of it.”

“Look, I just need some time to think, last night was unexpected,” Odo replies.

My heart sinks. “Do you regret being with me last night?”

Odo shakes his head. “Not for a second. But this is a lot to process. I want to get back together, but I just have some thinking to do.”

I nod. “I want to get back together as well, but I want you to take your time, I don’t want to rush you into anything.”

Odo stands next to me, and takes my hand. “I’m grateful, but I promise I won’t make you wait long. I’ll give you my answer by the end of the night.”

“Computer, time?” I ask.

“The time is 00:00 hours,” the computer states.

I sigh, “midnight.” I bid my mind not to race. Maybe Odo just needed more time to think. I torture myself all night, tossing and turning, and jump out of bed as soon as my alarm goes off. I hurriedly get dressed and rush down to Security.

The door opens, but Odo is nowhere to be seen. However, on the desk is a vase of Bajoran moon flowers.

“Sorry for the delay,” I hear Odo say behind me.

I turn and see Odo standing at the entrance to Security, hands behind his back, smiling softly.

“Are these for me?” I ask.

He nods, stepping in. “Quark owed me a favor, but couldn’t get them in before midnight. The flowers came on the first cargo from Bajor around 300 hours.”

“Oh, Odo,” I hug him by the neck. “Does this mean-?”

Odo pulls away for a moment. “Y/n, I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that life is better with you in it. You accepted me as a changeling, and you made my transition to human much more bearable. You’re the only person in the universe I could ever wish to be with. Will you be my partner in courtship, my girlfriend, again?”

I hug him again. “In a heartbeat. I love you, Odo.”

“I love you, too, y/n.”

playing dress up with my favorite dolls !! yippee!!

[exasperatedoctopus]

The amount of nonsense the ds9 crew puts up with from Quark is ridiculous.

A non-exhaustive list of Quark’s crimes as of s2:ep12:

1. He directly let in a bunch of criminals into the station that proceeded to kidnap the worm-portion of Dax

2. He blackmailed Julian and O’Brien into having a public tennis match, then tried to drug Julien to fix said match

3. He has been caught actively consorting with arms dealers on multiple occasions

4. He literally broke into someone’s private quarters to steal a secret box and summarily kicked off a cold case murder investigation when he got chumped for it

Nobody’s even surprised by it at this point. The earth is round, DS9 is a miserable, shambling wreck of Cardassian engineering, and Quark commits Crimes

Today I watched Chimera ... Odo you are so transgender

[riverstone21]

I just started getting interested in star trek and theseguys caught my attention and ive gotten completely obsessed in the span of 2 days,

Haven't even watched the show yet, only watched clips on youtube and read quite a few fics about them

[bagheerita]

It's not to keep people out, it's to keep me in. I suppose during the occupation the Cardassians considered their security chief a security risk. And I know why. Oh, do you? It's because they knew you were an honorable man. The kind of person who would do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. And now your integrity is going to get us both killed. I hope you're happy.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine: "Civil Defense"

oh

[devotedlittlefreak]

What if instead of His Way and Vic, Odo had been guided by a butch Springball coach? What if he had confessed to Kira at one of her matches, but he did it like in the end of But I'm a cheerleader?

With a Bajoran twist on the cheerleading obvs

accidentally gave dozy and elie matching crobats

💞 + 🌸 with gibbayyy?

🌸 - would they like getting flowers from their partner?

hmmm..thinks real hard.. HONESTLY i think hed find it to be a cute gesture! he'd have a hard time taking them like. genuinely. bc he receives things all the time why are these flowers any different? however when he pieces together this is a gesture of genuine REAL affection he'd have to fight a smirk. YEAH! i think hed like some flowers.

💞 - what’s their love language?

im not sure how to describe it but light physical gestures of affections and the occasional bare-handed handholding moment[INCREDIBLY INTIMATE in the hylicworld]. the part i actually dont know how to label is umm. LIKE. okay gibby growing up did not have any close emotional bonds w/ people so when he finally DOES form a close emotional bond. i think hed go a little crazy w it as in He makes statues and such in your honor

[firespirited]

A- Cardassians like brutalism and greige, this is Garak being a rebel

B- Cardassians see a different colour spectrum these look great with different lenses on

C- Garak commits fashion violence to sate his appetites

D- Garak learned colour and pattern matching theory from his oldest client, Quark, who sees colour perfectly but has the gaudiest taste in the universe.

Among the reasons why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek is that the outfits look like they were designed by a competent costume designer who had been given a pile of the world's most miscellaneous fabrics and told that if they didn't use it all up by sunrise, Rumpelstiltskin would take their firstborn child.

keiko is the biggest miles + julian shipper and i love her for it

[normcore-tertiary-character]

Ok but why am I so absolutely insane for anything Dina Superstore does but kind of grossed out by everything Lexi Not Dead Yet does?

Dina is objectively more gross in her behaviors and Lexi is written as significantly more sympathetic but I desperately want Dina and would love to never hear about Lexi's sex life ever again

[hollister-mc]

She just like me fr fr, one of the OG monsterfuckers

[wade-winston-wilson]

Unfortunately, I love Quark.

[beautyofsorrow]
